I've read in a few places that the new xbox will only be compatible with the top selling games from the original xbox, and if they aren't best sellers, they aren't going to work.
This is one of the sources I've come across (I won't bother posting links to message board threads full of speculation on it, but that's how I came across this).
That would suck for current Xbox owners, only being able to play the best selling games on their new system, when it's competitors are fully backward compatible.
I hope this is a poorly written and misworded article and untrue. I never plan on getting one, but... that's just...

Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XI for Xbox 360 (and Xbox Live obviously).

I think Square + Microsoft = one of the signs of the apocalpyse.

That part of the article got me all *bleh* as well.

Everyone that has already played the game isn't going to want to switch to the new xbox to play (and pay) for it.

Square has turned whore.

___________________
Xbox 360 officially will be backward compatible with the prior system's top-selling games, said Microsoft's Vice President Peter Moore. Microsoft will pick and choose only the most popular Xbox titles from its huge backlist of games and will most likely use emulator software for those limited titles.

I'm going to pick this apart.

First off...just a comment. Chickenlump, don't post. We have enough of your kind. Just shut the hell up and let the big boys with brains duke it out with words.


"I've read in a few places that the new xbox will only be compatible with the top selling games from the original xbox, and if they aren't best sellers, they aren't going to work. "

Links. Please.

Oh...you mean this link?

"This is one of the sources I've come across (I won't bother posting links to message board threads full of speculation on it, but that's how I came across this).
That would suck for current Xbox owners, only being able to play the best selling games on their new system, when it's competitors are fully backward compatible."

Oh...I see. You're trusting a message board? Smart. You're a very smart man...Lucky for you IGN quoted Moore as saying that. But you know what? I don't mind, because the only good games for X-Box sold fairly well. Chances are they are doing this to block the droves of shitty games that came out on the market (like what every system gets) from recent memory. Marketing r000lz.

"Everyone that has already played the game isn't going to want to switch to the new xbox to play (and pay) for it. "

Ummmm...Has anything other than "FFXI is going to be on X360" been revealed yet? To make presumptions on that fact alone is omg happy da.

"Square has turned whore. "

I wish that users would be banned when they say stupid things like this. Instant internet ban. Your fingers break when you try to post ban. That sort of ban. Mostly because the Big World Of Business wants you people to get post-labor abortions and DIE.

My, your panties seem to be in a wad tonight, don't they?
You'll live. I saw a link or two about limited xbox backwards compatiblitly and posted about it, and it seems to have rubbed you the wrong way. Get used to it, the internet isn't full of smart wonderful people like yourself. Find a hobby to let out all that teenage angst you have going on. My post was xbox360 related (informed or not), yours was not. Keep things civil, eh? *thumbs up*

On the bright side, the xbox360 looks lightyears better than the new Playstation 3. *shudder*

Personally I prefer the PS3 design over the X360 (what kind of a name is X360 anyway...?).
As for SquareEnix moving over to Microsoft, SE are only porting FF11 to the console, AFAIK SE are still exclusive to Sony for the series (FF12 has only been mentioned to be released for the PS3); now some people also thought that FF7 would be released to the PS3 after the tech demo, it isn't, all it was is a real-time (not pre-rendered) tech demo.
Dead or Alive 4 looks amazing on the X360, Gear of War looks amazing on both the X360 and PS3, I'm still waiting on the Nintendo Revolution stuff from IGN though I'm going to love the new generation of consoles!
Some official specs for the PS3 and X360: http://gear.ign.com/articles/614/614837p1.html

Would be more likely that they made a cheap PC. Hell, there been even speculations about a "Google OS", but they probably won't turn out true. Well, and it would surely be simple to use. But Nintendo is already taking that "simple to play and use" approch.

I heard from people that the early Perfect dark zero demo wasn't goodlooking nor smooth from people who saw it. Then, it's a early alpha and they're seldom pretty... then how long time have Rare worked on it? Besides I hadn't seen any screenshots myself, so don't take my word on it.

Microsoft is most likely to port Virtual PC, their own X86 emulator for Macintosh/PowerPC. Could be said that a PowerPC have a easier time to emulate an X86, than a X86 is at emulating PowerPC. All three consoles in the next generation is using PowerPC I think, which probably makes porting between the consoles easier that can be a good thing... (Gamecube is the only one using PowerPC in the current generation)

I really hope that neither controller design is final, because they both (PS3 & 360) look horrible.

DOA 4 looks great Has anyone else noticed that Tecmo has got their pants in a twist over screenshots? Arseholes!

Hopefully they'll flesh out the game a little, provide a much better gaming experience like Soul Calibur 2

I agree only half....the 360 controller isnt the best....but I actually like the ps3 controller, its unique, and it seems like it would fit nicely into anyones hand...


now that ive seen the ps3, the 360 doesnt compare in any aspect, except the xbox live...that still kicks ass.

Well, the PS3 controller did look like it was made for pleasure. On women...

Like how Nintendo changed the DS, I bet that none of the design is final. It will be changed, unless the designers are really proud over it or something. Companies do after all react after the press.

Yeah, maybe it has an in-built vibrator.

The PS3 console looks pretty cool but the controller is awful. They didn

I still don't get that they didn't show PS3 or Nintendo Revolution. They could of showed all of them at once not just the xbox360.
